We had a fabulous time bringing students, donors, pulp and paper industry leaders, employers and UMaine faculty and Foundation staff together again for this annual event—live and in person this year.
The event kicked off April 5 with our Annual Board Meeting and tours of the UMaine Advanced Structures and Composite Center as well as the UMaine Process Development Center and ended with a night of networking.
Wednesday, we hosted our traditional breakfast panel followed by guest speakers, student and industry panel discussions, and luncheon. The event concluded with a social hour and banquet dinner including a keynote address by Heather Dubois, VP and General Manager, Nalco Water, An Ecolab Company.
